ReFOCUS with Jim Daly

Laura Perry Smalts shares her story of childhood pain and trauma that led her to identify as a man for seven years. And it was the spiritual transformation in her parents and the love of many other Christians that convinced her to place her faith in Christ, which she fully unpacks in her book, Transgender to Transformed. Not long after her faith conversion, Laura came to embrace God’s design for her as a woman. Laura and Dr. Meg Meeker, a pediatrician, offer compelling evidence for the harmful physical and psychological effects of gender transitions.
